Hello everyone
I'm using Windows 7.
I'm translating xlf.xlz files in OmegaT, but since OmegaT can't unzip and re-sup the files itself, I have to unzip the xlf.xlz files first, translate them, and then update the original xlf.xlz file with the update content. This is fine if it's just one or two files (I use 7-zip's GUI), but I now have a job with 1000 such files.

I'm using Windows 7.
I'm translating xlf.xlz files in OmegaT, but since OmegaT can't unzip and re-sup the files itself, I have to unzip the xlf.xlz files first, translate them, and then update the original xlf.xlz file with the update content. This is fine if it's just one or two files (I use 7-zip's GUI), but I now have a job with 1000 such files.
So, for example, I have an archive named e.g. "abc.xlf.xlz", and inside the archive are two files named content.xlf and original.skl. I've unzipped the files in the archive to a subfolder called "abc.xlf". The archive abc.xlf.xlz and the subfolder "abc.xlf" are siblings, i.e. they're both in the same parent folder (and inside the subfolder "abc.xlf" are two files, named content.xlf and original.skl).
After I've edited the file content.xlf in OmegaT, I want to add the new version of content.xlf into the original zip file abc.xlf.xlz. Do you know of a zip program with a commandline option that would allow for that?
I do not want to create a new zip file. I need to update the original zip file. The new version of content.xlf must overwrite the old version of content.xlf inside abc.xlf.xlz.
Thanks
Samuel
== Added:
It doesn't have to be commandline. If you know of a GUI program that will allow me to do this *and* process multiple such tasks in one go, i.e. without having to perform the operation separately for each zip file, then I'd be happy to hear about it.

7-Zip has a command line version.
Yes, thanks, but what is the syntax to achieve what I'm trying to achieve?

I'm sure it's probably either -f or -u, but I need to know what is the syntax (i.e. how should I specify the paths to get the desired result). I do not want a zip file with a folder inside it with the same name as the zip file itself.
